How to Make a Margarita - The Perfect Margarita

How to make a margarita, an easy question and an even easier one to answer and master. There are predominantly two major ways to make them тЂ“ a frozen margarita or a margarita on the rocks. We will talk about both, but the tougher question is what to put in your margarita. Some minimalists would argue that a margarita should only include 100% agave tequila while others, myself included agree that a classic margarita recipe should include 100% agave tequila, Cointreau and Grand Marnier for instance. I have included several recipes for you to try. Т  How To Make a Margarita тЂ“ the Frozen Margarita In order to make a frozen margarita you will need the following items: *A margarita machine, daiquiri machine, frozen drink machine or just a plain old blender *A premium 100% agave tequila of your choice *Cointreau or other orange liqueur and Grand Marnier if you wish тЂ“ try it both ways *A frozen margarita mix or fresh limes *Ice Typically all ingredients would be added at the same time in the margarita machine and blended evenly until smooth. Some margarita machines and other frozen drink machines make the process easier but taking the ice and shaving it for a better margarita drink. If using fresh ingredients like lemons and or limes instead of a margarita mix, be sure to juice the limes fully and toss the remains. Here are a few frozen margarita recipes. 2 ounces of premium 100% blue agave tequila 1/2 ounces of fresh lime juice or RoseтЂ™s sweetened lime juice 3/4 ounce Cointreau Splash sweet-and-sour mix or margarita mix 2 ounces of premium 100% blue agave tequila 2 ounces of fresh lime juice 1/2 ounce Cointreau 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier Ice Blend as described above and serve in salted or unsalted margarita glasses.
